[NTLK] problems with "write protected" card

not again...

can anyone help me out here? i have a 16M card with a lot of stuff on that
now shows up as "write protected" and "unformatted". ive tried to re-format
the card (i can restore the info) with the prefs open, but even that doesnt
work. tried this in both OMP and mp2100.

the error showed up when i ignored a "re-insert the card or lose data" msg.
i ignored the msg because i didnt believe it would eat the whole card, just
the data would have been ok, but this...!

is there a cure, or can i use the card as a paperweight? (its too light for
that, i know, but the insight is not comforting anyway.)

thanx,
